The ASEC analysis team uses the ASEC automatic analysis system RAPIT to categorize and respond to known malware. This post will list weekly statistics collected from February 6th, 2023 (Monday) to February 12th, 2023 (Sunday).
For the main category, downloader ranked top with 54.7%, followed by backdoor with 27.7%, Infostealer with 12.8%, ransomware with 4.6%, and CoinMiner with 0.1%.
Top 1 – Amadey
This week, Amadey Bot ranked first place with 43.9%. Amadey is a downloader that can receive commands from the attacker to download additional malware, and when info-stealing modules are used, it can collect user credentials in the infected system.
Usually, Amadey is installed by SmokeLoader which is distributed in the disguise of normal programs and crack malware. In the recent days, however, Amadey is being distributed to corporate users through malicious document files attached to spam mails and being used to install LockBit ransomware.

Top 4 – njRAT
njRAT is a RAT malware that can steal information including keylogging and also perform commands from the threat actor. This week, it ranked fourth place with 6.1%. Recently identified njRATs are usually distributed through phishing such as on Facebook advertisement pages.

- rif-nador123333333.zapto[.]org:1177
- gololosd.ddns[.]net:9090
njRATs tend to be in disguise as normal files. Many of these are illegal programs such as game hacks and cracked programs, and there are some cases where the malware is included in illegally-shared games.
- JJS-UI.exe
- modest-menu.exe
- GTA san andreas.exe
- GikssLoader.exe
- Gmail Hacker Password 2016.exe
- minecraft.exe

Top 5 – Formbook
Formbook is an Infostealer that ranked fifth place with 5.0%.
Like other Infostealers, it is mainly distributed through spam emails. The distributed file names are close to each other.
- overdue settlement.exe
- URGENT REQUEST FOR QUOTATION ORDER SHEET.exe
- Order specification.exe
- SHIPPING DOC.exe
- ruficoccin.exe
- firefox.exe
As Formbook is injected into normal processes (one is a running explorer.exe and the other is in system32), the malicious behaviors are performed by these normal processes. Besides user credentials in the web browser, the malware can steal various information through keylogging, clipboard grabbing, and web browser form grabbing.
Below is the list of confirmed C&C server URLs of Formbook.
